What does the Supreme Court ruling on biological sex mean for the health service?
The UK鈥檚 top court says that under equality law a woman is a biological woman and a man is a biological man. It鈥檚 sparked discussion about how the NHS accommodates trans people when it comes to single sex spaces, like women-only wards.
